Antonov Design Bureau's chief pilot, Dmitry Antonov, has confirmed via Facebook that the Antonov An-225 - the world's largest cargo aircraft - has not been destroyed.
The world-famous airliner's home base of Kyiv/Hostomel Airport has today been seized by Russian forces which invaded Ukraine this morning, with the six-engined giant being caught up in the assault on the airfield.
Reports on the leviathan's status have been circulating since invasion forces took control of the airport earlier today.

In February 2022 a disaster happened, says the letter that we translated using Google Translate (please excuse any inaccuracies). During the aggression against Ukraine the An-225 Mriya plane was destroyed. This loss has stunned the team of Antonov DP, the global aviation community, numerous cargo customers of the largest aircraft. Despite the difficult times, the team of Antonov DP strongly considers it necessary to prevent the complete irreversible loss of the legendary aircraft as one of the symbols of modernity and to begin work on the restoration of the flagship of transport aviation, the An-225 Mriya. For this there are all things structural and scientific and technical documentation, namely the main thing presence, great desire and inspiration of the team of Antonov. Unfortunately, in a difficult time for Ukraine Antonov, there is a lack of funds to carry out this task. We propose to establish the International Fund for the rebuilding of the transport aircraft An-225 Mriya.
